[Verse #1]

See my understanding eyes

I practice in the mirror so

I know they look right

This, I fear, may be a bitter path

Lean into the gravity and land

You won’t budge, oh, mountainside

Oh, redwood tree whose roots run wide and

Should you bend, you snap right back

Unchanged except stronger, perhaps

[Chorus]

You’re just a blue jay

You just push and take

Impose your will again

[Verse #2]

See these hands

They smell of books

Mischievous and underfoot and

I will cross your snowy peaks

I’ll roll your stones and leap your streams

[Chorus]

You’re just a blue jay

You just push and take

Impose your will again

[Bridge]

You won’t change

It’s like blood from a stone

The blood will be my own

[Outro]

Blue jay-jay

Just push and take

You jay-jay

Just push and take

Impose your will again
